4 “Mix Up Your Morning” Oatmeal Recipes

Oatmeal every day. Who’s been there with me? Oats are such a staple in my diet because they’re quick to make in the morning, healthy as can be and they keep me full for hours. But, after two weeks straight of eating the same oatmeal for breakfast, you start to realize you need a mix-up. These 4 “Mix Up Your Morning” Oatmeal Recipes are a good place to start. You can stick with that healthy staple of oats without getting bored!

We’ve put together 4 recipes that we love, but really, the options are endless. What are your favorite oatmeal recipes? We’d love to hear.

I used to be a huge fan of Quaker Oats instant oatmeal. Cinnamon Spice? Peaches and Cream? You know what I’m talkin’ about. But then one day I had the realization that oatmeal isn’t actually healthy if it contains 12 grams of added refined sugar. Hmmm. That’s when I got to thinking, I can make a delicious bowl of oatmeal and add my own natural sweeteners like fresh raspberries or smashed bananas. Of course, it’s always nice to drizzle a little raw honey or pure maple syrup on there too, but moderation is the key 😉

And now…drumroll please… our 4 “Mix Up Your Morning” Oatmeal Recipes:

1.Peanut Butter and Banana Oatmeal – a peanut-butter lovers dream. Made with PB fit powder and your choice of milk (I like almond!) this is a creamy peanut butter heaven. Top it off with fresh bananas, a drizzle of honey and some natural peanut butter swirls, and your morning just got a whole lot better.

2.Carrot Cake Oatmeal – even though we’re not promising cream cheese frosting with this one (not a bad idea however 😉 ), this carrot cake oatmeal will definitely elevate your typical morning oats. The pumpkin seeds give it the perfect little crunch and a drizzle of pure maple syrup finishes it off with a bang.

3.Coconut Raspberry Chia Seed Oatmeal – cooked with coconut milk and chia seeds, these oats are the creamiest of them all. Add some fresh or frozen raspberries on top with some shredded coconut and you’ve got yourself a tropical paradise. AKA your kitchen.

4.Walnut Banana Bread Oatmeal – who doesn’t like banana bread for breakfast? And this way, you’re not dealing with the mid-morning crash from all that sugar baked into the bread. Walnut banana bread oatmeal is a great alternative when you’re craving a bit of banana heaven but want to watch the waistline. A pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon, a drizzle of honey and some crushed walnuts and there ya go! A breakfast of champions.

Those are a few of our favs, but we know you have your own delicious oatmeal versions too. We want to know about them! Comment with your favorite oatmeal version and we’ll give it a try 🙂

Ok people. Make your mornings amazing. “Sleeping is just a time machine to breakfast…” Whoever said that one has their priorities right where they should be. Don’t skip breakfast!

Yummm!! I’m totally with you on eating oatmeal every morning, so I’m excited to try some of these 🙂 I had no idea that the Quaker oats had so much refined sugar, not that it surprises me but that’s kind of a bummer :/ Thank you so much for sharing!
P.S. Love the quote at the end 🙂

Oatmeal for life! Yes, a bummer about the sugar-packed quaker oats, but more of a reason to get creative with your own! I hope you like the ones we came up with…if you try any of them out, we’d love to hear how you liked them!

Yes! I love oatmeal for breakfast and these all sound amazing! I especially want to try the carrot cake oatmeal, sounds so yummy with the maple syrup. I also love apple chunks and peanut butter in mine.
